Can I sell Vintage Straight Razors????????

One for support, I think...I wouldn't want to risk listing those in case they come under the 'no knives' rule

Except there appears a category for them????

Home : Browse : Health & Beauty : Hair Removal : Razors & Blades

Now that is conflicting I must say.
I'm sympathizing a little with the OP now.

Just because someone else is listing illegal items does not mean you can. However, you can report violators.

How can the item be illegal if there is a category for them?

Ebid seems to get a few ebay sellers coming to ebid trying to sell knives.
I don't think anyone should be able to sell knives aside from household types.

Knives are horrible things that kill people.
There are plenty of other things to sell.

A tricky one at times with knives.

There are a few craft people on eBid so should the sale of craft knives be allowed? Carpet knives? DIY?

The internet can provide a cheaper place to purchase goods and also an opportunity for people who are not near major towns and cities to have the same buying opportunities as those who do. I have sold many items to more remote areas of Scotland in the past simply because it can be difficult for them to obtain locally.

In all honesty if some thug wants a knife they will get one. A kitchen knife can kill or maim in the same way as a hunting knife, craft knife or razor. It's the moron using it that is the problem.

On a lighter note I did once see a childrens cutlery set in a store for use from the age of about 12 months. There was a store sticker on it stating "Not for sale to under 18's". The kids have similar sets and to actually braek the skin you would probably need to use a hammer with the knife.

Which is why the UK law on the sale of 'offensive weapons' is an ass. It is, however, the law - and eBid (being registered in the UK) is subject to that law.

I did look into the law, and without re-checking I think it is legal to sell a knife with a blade under 2.5" unluss it is fixed or a switchblade. I argued this with eBay when I had a listing removed, but to no avail. Many sites simply ban the sale of knives irrelevant of the law.

Funny...I have lots of knives at home and they have never killed people.

People kill people with knives and I am guessing if they are prone to do that they would pick up any knife that was handy...not order one from an auction site?????

In our local shops Knives (even kitchen knives) can only be sold to people over 18 and we don't know for sure who will end up with a knife sold here.

I keep my knives separate from the forks and spoons in the cutlery drawer.

Can't be too careful with the horrible things!
